Access Issue: 2025 Seasonal Raptor Closures - Triple Tier, Boston Peak, Grazing Allotment Crag
Details
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Feb. 3, 2025) – To protect nesting birds of prey, the Roosevelt National Forest began implementing annual closures in several popular recreation areas within the Canyon Lakes and Boulder Ranger Districts on Feb 1, 2025.
On the Canyon Lakes Ranger District, the closure areas include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details.
The Roosevelt National Forest works closely with partners like Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Boulder Climbing Community and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
Poison Swoop is another stunning face climb on a wall with a ton of them. It is only marred by some soft rock and some poisoned holds.
BETA SPOILER:
Right off the bat, it is deceptively tricky and involved. A funny hop off the ground gets you to a hollow jug followed immediately by a tricky and somewhat reachy boulder problem to gain the right-angling, sloper rail. Slap and smear your way out this obvious rail feature to a good stance or sit at its end. Build high feet, and traverse back left on the poisoned holds (aka chipped/manufactured) to the crux jump move. A good rest is followed by an unusual boulder problem off a tricky left hand wrap/sloper. Another jump to a massive jug leads to pumpy climbing up the seam to the massive jug underclings and the anchor.
The 3-bolt extension to the anchor on Bean Town Beat Down is an open project. The boulder problem at the anchor of Poison Swoop is very short (1.5 moves) but extremely powerful.
Location
Located left of Bean Town Beat Down, it is easily recognized by the right-angling, sloper rail/ledge/crack thingy.
